    Why's Nigel Pearson not on the list? Did anything happen or is his name just right below these managers on the betting list? I used the search funtion on this forum to see what happened regarding Pearson but it wouldn't show all the results in this thread apart from just one post from 4 days ago.
    His health is not good. Back probs. Neuro probs. 
    Thanks.

    From October:
    NIGEL PEARSON has revealed he is suffering from a neurological issue but insists it won't hold him back. The Bristol City boss has been on crutches for the last six weeks owing to back pain. Tests have been conducted on the problem and surgery is needed.

    That looks a bit serious. Hopefully the surgery went well.
  • When people dress up as clowns it makes me wonder about them. Like they think if they wear exaggerated make up, colourful clothes and oversized shoes they are automatically funny, and more worryingly attractive to children!
    To be funny you have to do a lot more than dress up, not expect a knee jerk amused reaction just because of your appearance. 
    People being clowns are not so much scary as creepy, not really harmless fun but weird indulgence for the costumed adult.

    Clowns, clowns costumes and clown humour has a very long history. At least as far as the Egyptians. There’s more to clowns than your observation Seth.

    Yes. In Italy, especially from areas of traditional Italian theatre like Commedia dell’arte or Pagliacci the notion of ‘clowns’ is as established as goodies and baddies. And in traditional Circus a tripping over ‘clown’ or ‘clowns’ with comedy cars and custard pies has its place.
    My issue is with adults merely dressing up and thinking that does the trick, that is enough. There being no context.
    Suspicious and disturbing if the mindset is ‘if I dress up I will automatically be regarded as funny and a good guy’. For me (maybe only me) they are rather creepy, not scary but creepy.

    I get that people come on here and move away from the thread topic, we are all guilty.

    but this is the best one ever! I never thought I would learn that Seth hates clowns on a next Charlton coach thread.

    keeping it off topic, not a fan of Stephen Kings IT then Seth?
    Hang on. It wasn’t me that posted the picture of the clown queue.
    ’It’ is not a great book (or film) contrived and not scary. However Stephen King at the top of his game is a superb writer, sometimes written off by the intelligentsia because of the stupidly lurid covers of his paperback books.
    For example his short story ‘The Body’ (which became the film ‘Stand By Me) it to my mind a masterpiece.

    I watch them religiously every Sunday. I thought exactly the same watching that this morning! I think it was mentioned previously though, he is way too clever and shrewd to work under this lot! 
  • When do we think a new manager will be appointed?

    I'm assuming it'll be this week.  I reckon Wednesday or Thursday

    Hopefully before the window closes.
  • Think we will have the same pair in charge for the Derby game. 
    As to who the manager is just hope he can work miracles with the lot we have.
  • I wonder if Nigel Pearson is coming in after playing and Managing with our Curtis? Might be wrong but why did he come to us?

    That if true would mean the sacking of Appleton has been planned for weeks and the interview process now being undertaken is a complete sham. Both Fleming and Pearson would be complicit. I think there’s zero chance of this being true.
  • I'd happily keep Fleming around. I know most managers will come with their own setup but Fleming seems like a very good communicator and someone worth seeing if he stays under a new regime.
